About 20th Wedding Anniversaries

For many, this 20th wedding anniversary is most likely the first to be celebrated with your children, other family members and close friends. So congratulations on this amazing personal milestone, popularly known as the China Anniversary.

China symbolises the beautiful, elegant and fragile nature of love. It is a reminder not to take your marriage for granted, and to continue nurturing it so your love will flourish. Just as with china, love might be fragile at times, but it is also durable and long-lasting. A 20-year marriage has certainly withstood the test of time.

 

How to Celebrate Your 20th Wedding Anniversary

 

If you want to do something different, why not happily reminisce about your wedding day and life together while enjoying a delicious Chinese meal with friends and family.

Or perhaps this is the time to finally go ahead with long-time plans for a luxury trip to China.
